Bolle’s cry of pain for his neglected dance
Bolle raised his voice to protect his dance which is relegated by institutions to the margins of the entertainment world. “Dance is often seen in theater programs as a filler over operas and orchestras,” he says. It is a pity that schools are overflowing with students who wish to deal with this noble art.
After his accusations in the Chamber, the étoile received the first positive responses. “I want to see the results in practice, but everyone seems to agree, from the Ministry to the various superintendents, in supporting and relaunching the dance. I believe that something will change ».
For sure Bolle will continue to dance, despite being 46 years old: «Yes, I ask a lot of my body, but luckily it answers well. I look at the present and I do not ask myself the problem of the after – the artist comments – in the meantime I have shows scheduled until 2023“.
